In 2017, I have had the opportunity to see some of the areas that I was teaching about (China and Rome).  I was so amazed by the things I saw and just so awestruck by history and being able to see the sights and experience the culture of these wonderful places.  I wanted to be able to offer Kiser/Grimsley students the opportunity to experience many different cultures.  I believe that offering students the opportunity to experience this so they can see firsthand what different countries/cultures are like, will help them gain a global perspective. Creating curiosity about the world encourages travel, providing students with the opportunities to see places around the world they may have thought they would not have had the experience of doing otherwise and witnessing my students experiencing something for the first time is priceless. Seeing different parts of the world is priceless and something I truly believe students should have that opportunity to do.  I am offering my students, past or present, the invitation to join me in one of these upcoming experiences that will last a lifetime and create unforgettable memories...Welcome Aboard!!
